AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Painting depicting the Salvator Mundi (Christ the Savior of the World), a classic iconography that presents Jesus in half-length with a frontal gaze. Jesus Christ is depicted with long, wavy hair, a light reddish beard and a luminous halo around the head. He wears a richly decorated red tunic on the chest with a clasp or an elaborate jewel and a blue mantle. This work appears to be a nineteenth-century production, probably of Italian origin. The iconographic model draws on older prototypes, such as those of the Flemish school (followers of Quentin Matsys) or of the Lombard and Venetian Renaissance schools, which featured similar ornamental details on the garments. The canvas, however, seems older (eighteenth century) than the date marked on the frame, which may indeed refer to a gift or a dedication.
Seller's Story
I am an antiques dealer who has closed his shops (3) with a large remainder of pieces including paintings, porcelain, sculptures, furniture, etc.
I am dispersing all these works at prices very often lower than my purchase prices. They are all guaranteed and original works of great quality and value. Furthermore, through my thirty years of contacts, I continue to buy and offer extraordinary works at unbeatable prices, but only online.
